The Ignition Electrode on Your IBC Boiler

The ignition electrode produces a high-voltage spark across a precise gap to light the gas. A worn, sooty, or misaligned electrode causes weak sparking, slow ignition, and lockouts.

On IBC systems — including models such as SL 20-160, VFC 15-150, V-10 — a failing ignition electrode often shows up as ignition lockout or related symptoms. We diagnose it precisely and install the correct genuine IBC part.
